Nuggets' forward Nene suffered a right calf strain in Brazil's semifinal loss to Argentina. While the extent of the damage isn't known, a Brazilian team doctor said through a spokesman that the injury was "bad" and estimated he could be out four to six weeks. If correct, it could keep Nene out of the first weeks of training camp, which starts in early October. All of this will be clearer once Nuggets doctors examine Nene, who is expected to be in Denver on Monday.
Nene was among the last to leave the locker room after the game and did so in a wheelchair. He said he was not sure how long he would be out. When asked how he felt, he said, "Not very good."
